Have you heard? 60 is the new 40!


I REFER to “Help seniors get jobs” (Views, The Star, Dec 24; online at tinyurl.com/star-seniors) and also “Shrinking job options for seniors” (Views, The Star, Dec 27; online at tinyurl.com/star-senior-jobs) on the matter of work and employment in old age.

The issue of old age employment was highlighted in the 2011 National Policy for Older Person’s Action Plan; and currently the Institute of Labour Market Infor­mation and Analysis under the Human Resources Ministry is conducting a study on “Penggajian & Gunatenaga Warga Emas di Malay­sia” (Wages and Employment of Senior Citizens in Malaysia).
